  2. Post-transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transition_metal

    Starting from the bottom left, and proceeding clockwise, the alkali metals are followed by the heavier alkaline earth metals; the rare earths and actinides (Sc, Y and the lanthanides being here treated as rare earths); transition metals with intermediate electronegativity values and melting points; the refractory metals; the platinum group ...

  3. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

  4. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    Adsorbents are used usually in the form of spherical pellets, rods, moldings, or monoliths with a hydrodynamic radius between 0.25 and 5 mm. They must have high abrasion resistance, high thermal stability and small pore diameters, which results in higher exposed surface area and hence high capacity for adsorption.

  5. React Native - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_Native

    React Native is an open-source UI software framework developed by Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook Inc.). [3] It is used to develop applications for Android, [4]: §Chapter 1 [5] [6] Android TV, [7] iOS, [4]: §Chapter 1 [6] macOS, [8] tvOS, [9] Web, [10] Windows [8] and UWP [11] by enabling developers to use the React framework along with native platform capabilities.

  6. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Metallic character increases going down a group and from right to left across a period. Nonmetallic character increases going from the bottom left of the periodic table to the top right. The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; he formulated the periodic law as a dependence ...

  7. Rare-earth element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element

    The rare-earth elements (REE), also called the rare-earth metals or rare earths, and sometimes the lanthanides or lanthanoids (although scandium and yttrium, which do not belong to this series, are usually included as rare earths), [1] are a set of 17 nearly indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals.

  8. Spatial anti-aliasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_anti-aliasing

    The sinc function of the radius has too long a tail to make a good filter (it is not even square-integrable). A more appropriate analog to the one-dimensional sinc is the two-dimensional Airy disc amplitude, the 2D Fourier transform of a circular region in 2D frequency space, as opposed to a square region. Gaussian plus differential function

  9. Valence (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_(chemistry)

    The valence is the combining capacity of an atom of a given element, determined by the number of hydrogen atoms that it combines with. In methane, carbon has a valence of 4; in ammonia, nitrogen has a valence of 3; in water, oxygen has a valence of 2; and in hydrogen chloride, chlorine has a valence of 1.
